Minimal Change Disease clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 6 recruiting minimal change disease studies with a site in California — including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06500702RecruitingPhase 2
Study of three drugs for FSGS or minimal change disease
This study tests three experimental drugs (frexalimab, brivekimig, and rilzabrutinib) for people ages 16 to 75 with a type of kidney disease called primary FSGS or minimal change disease. The goal is to see if these drugs can reduce protein in your urine and help protect your kidneys.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 16–75 - NCT05003986RecruitingPhase 2
Sparsentan for children with protein leaking kidney diseases
This Phase 2 study tests sparsentan in children with certain kidney diseases that cause high amounts of protein in the urine. It aims to see if the medicine can reduce kidney damage signals and protein leakage compared with standard care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–17 - NCT06466135RecruitingPhase 2
Study of WAL0921 for glomerular kidney diseases
This study tests a new drug called WAL0921 for people with certain types of kidney disease. The goal is to see if it can help protect kidney function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT01209000Recruiting
Study for children with new kidney protein loss
This study is for children (and some newly diagnosed patients) who have nephrotic syndrome—kidneys leaking a lot of protein. It aims to better understand the kidney condition (sometimes using biopsy) and support future care decisions.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 80 years - NCT04920032RecruitingPhase 1
Blood test–guided extra treatment for colon cancer recurrence risk
This Phase 1 study uses a blood test called ctDNA to decide whether and how to adjust treatment in people with colon cancer who still have a small amount of disease left after surgery. If your blood test remains positive, the trial aims to reduce recurrence risk by guiding treatment changes.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07409246RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ABBV-438 for multiple myeloma patients
This trial tests a new intravenous treatment, ABBV-438, for adults with multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded to prior therapies. It aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and how it moves through the body.

What taking part in a minimal change disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there minimal change disease clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting minimal change disease studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a minimal change disease study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a minimal change disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New minimal change disease studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
